I have a programming project that tentatively needs to be written in C++ or Visual Basic or or possibly XML -- any Win32 API because it cannot be run in a web environment.

The incoming file looks like this ARP1.txt and the xls file has the headers as displayed on arp_fus_template.xls. The header and trailer on the ARP1 file do not need to be exported to the XLS file.

Other info
1. I need it immediately
3) I need a small test in whatever API you choose that I need to test on the customers system running the latest version of Windows. Your test should just display "Hello World" -- just to make sure whatever language you select actually executes on the customer's machine.
